Should I upgrade to Final Cut Pro 6.0.2?

I'm currently running Final Cut Pro 6.0, and I've recently been having some weird render problems. (Sequences will routinely lose all their render files; also, some titles that appear in the sequence to be fully rendered are revealed to be unrendered on playback.) From what I've read online, it seems that upgrading to 6.0.2 might fix some or all of these problems.

However, I've also read a lot of things that suggest that 6.0.2 might have various issues/bugs that could cause me problems. Can anyone comment on the pros & cons of upgrading?

If it matters, I'm running Tiger on a G5 (PowerPC).

No real cons. Renders disappearing are way worse than anything new (What new problems have you heard of?)

Absolutely upgrade to 6.0.2. There aren't any major, showstopping "new" bugs that 6.0.2 introduced, but it did squash numerous ones that were in 6.0 and 6.0.1.

I use FCP 6.0.2 in client supervised situations every day of the week, and so far, there's been nothing about 6.0.2 that makes me want to go Office Space on my machine, unlike 6.0 and 5.x.

Do it.
